"At The Tone, the Time Will Be..."

I took this shot of the entrance road to the National Bureau of Standards Time Station, WWVH, in 2003. This is located in the far southwestern part of Kaua'i, next to the Barking Sands Missile Range. We were not able to get any closer due to post 9/11 security, sadly. WWVH is the "sister station" of WWV in Colorado; both use atomic clocks and broadcast time signals worldwide on shortwave frequencies. Notice the burned-over sugar cane field by the sign!

In 2005, a radio engineer named "Bonny Doon" was also in the area, and managed to sneak some nice shots of the station:
